Maestro, as you paint this picture, would
You tell me what's going on in your mind?
Now, look cross, the mystical, vertical cross
Out of black paint, a cross comes down
From the top left-hand side of the canvas
ย
He has just thrown a bunch of gold paint, which
Has not only hit me in the face, but has gone across
The canvas, to the applause of the crowd below
Now some black paint
This is the head, this is the head, this is the head of the black head
The canvas and the photographers are covered with paint
I might add, it's black paint and gold paint on a white canvas
ย
That was a big splash of paint
ย
Now he got even with the photographers who had been covering
The canvas, and opens the canvas and out comes twelve pigeons
Twelve homing pigeons have just flown out of the canvas
Maestro, what are you doing?
ย
You call this painting...
"Le Lion de Saint-Marc"
The Lion of Saint-Marc
"Hommage ร Venise"
Homage to Venice, the home of the Lion of Saint-Marc
